The Margosa Bongostay

What guests loved the most

“The hotel is just awsome: rooms are beautiful, the food is great (breakfast and dinner), and the staff is amazing. Great staying. The hotel is not in the centre of the town: it takes about 20 minutes to reach the city centre. Since there is no public transport from the hotel to the centre ask the staff to help you in logistics: all the staff is very helpful and kind.”

“A large property which was previously a home, outside Jaffna town in a large garden with only 6 rooms. The rooms are large, well furnished with Balinese styled bathrooms. Staff are very helpful and ensure that all requirements are met with. Special mention of the cook must be made for his fabulous, authentic and very tasty Jaffna food.”

“The staff and management were truly amazing and the cooking was sublime. The gardens are gorgeous and full of birds. I loved the house and liked that the location was just outside jaffna.”

“Friendly staff, nice quaint and quiet setting and attractively laid out furniture and appurtenances and a nice garden”

“This hotel is so homely and beautiful. It is a lovely old villa, which has been restored and tastefully decorated. It is set well back from the road with a very pretty garden out the front.”

“Superb property giving the atmosphere of Jaffna + Sri Lanka. Bed was impossibly hard but we were given a second mattress - as a topper - still firm but a great improvement! Excellent staff + beautiful food expertly prepared. 2/3 miles out of the centre making it quiet + relaxing. Fantastic outdoor style bathroom. Would definately stay again if visiting Jaffna”

“Ambiance intime (très peu de chambres) dans une magnifique maison coloniale avec un service irréprochable. Les repas étaient vraiment délicieux (même les simples sandwiches que nous avons demandés à notre arrivée). La chambre était tres spacieuse et la salle de bain en plein air est un régal. Et puis Jaffna (et ses alentours) mérite plus que les 2 petits jours que nous y avons passés. ”
